A Loss is a Loss is a Loss





Happy Hump Day!


Well another early start, my son is on a course currently so we both got up at just gone 6am, a bit of faffing around (which consisted of me helping him make a packed lunch and gather his books etc – when he goes off to Uni next year I will actually miss the morning routine of both shuffling around and helping each other. My hubby doesn’t really function well till lunchtime bless), so he ate his breakfast and then he was off out to the course, and I sat watching the news and drinking my obligatory tea.

So tea finished time to think about kick starting the metabolism – breakfast, the thing is Wednesday evening is WI for me, and I have gotten into the superstitious habit of having breakfast, a bit of fruit for lunch – then nothing till after weigh in (what are your superstitious run up to wI routines?). So, a substantial breakfast to keep me going, or, a light breakfast to maximize weight loss on the black box……as the black box does not beckon till 5.30pm I think substantial it should be.

I went for quorn bacon (so much of it I couldn’t eat it all – but Henry liked it), 5 beans by Heinz, and HeB of brown toast all with a light dusting of white pepper– plenty to keep me upright till after WI.






On a random note, you may notice I often eat vegetarian food – I am not vegetarian but I have a strong need to not eat any meat when I don’t know where it came from (or do know and don’t like the answer!) – this developed to almost OCD standards as I got older, so when not at home, travelling, or in doubt – I eat vegetarian. Why? Well, I’m no preacher on this and we must all make our own decisions so please don’t send me lists of for and against, it is personal to me I know– but I just can’t condone bad treatment of animals, I don’t disagree with eating meat (obviously), but I go for less and spend the money I do have in a way that ensures as far as I can that anything I consume had a decent life before death, that it was treated in a way I can cope with, and not lived in misery then was dragged through long journeys just to be slaughtered for my benefit – yep, lecture over, I therefore may sometimes appear to make strange food choices especially when travelling, and now you will know why! Anyway tangent over, and yes, I am often called a weirdo…

Lunch = one Satsuma (I dare not eat anything else till after my 5.30pm weigh in, paranoid or what). So the afternoon passed by with me using my lunch break to dog walk, working on my laptop without moving my bum at all for several hours followed the dog walk, and the minute I stopped working the heebbie geebbies set in about will I get a loss this week. Even when I have been relatively well behaved, I still feel anxious before weigh in.

So, 2 ½ lb off this week – Yippee. Of course I would want 10lb off, but off is off regardless of the number, and that’s my Christmas wish – to have a loss every week for the next 10, small loss or big – but all losses? Well, that’s the plan and on track this week.
Tonight is a meal out, some pant swinging and doing the happy dance, so I expect to be off plan – but will be directly back on with my breakfast tomorrow – enjoy your evenings matey peeps x
